Police have closed the 15th Avenue bridge in the Ravenna neighborhood after two suspected pipe bombs were found near the bridge this morning.
Around 10am this morning, a city employee found two suspected pipe bombs in an encampment in Ravenna Park near the bridge—around 15th Avenue NE and NE Cowen Pl—and called police.
SPD’s Arson/Bomb Squad is on-scene.
Cowen/Ravenna Park remains open, but you should avoid the area near the bridge until police have finished their investigation.
UPDATE:
ABS has determined the suspected pipe bombs are in fact just harmless pipes.
